Assertion and Reasoning Question
14 Q1 Assertion : When we change the unit of measurement of a quantity, its numerical value changes.
Reason : Smaller the unit of measurement smaller is its numerical value.
15 Assertion: Number of significant figures in 0.005 is one and that in 0.500 is three. Reason: This is
because zeros are not significant.
16 Assertion: Light year and year, both measure time. Reason: Because light year is the time that light
takes to reach the earth from sun.
17 Assertion: The dimensions of a/b in the equation P= a-t2/ bx , where P is pressure, x is distance and t
is time, are MT-2. Reason: By Principle of homogeneity the dimensions of LHS is equal to
dimensions of RHS.

32 Case Study Type Question
System of units: A system of units is a collection of units in which certain units are chosen as
fundamental and all others are derived from them. This system is also called an absolute system of
units. Some common systems in use are:
c.g.s system: The unit of length is centimetre, mass is gram, time is secong.
m.k.s system: The unit of length is metre, mass is kilogram, time is second.
f.p.s system: The unit of length is foot, mass is pound, time is second.
S.I. system: In 1960, 11th General Conference of Weights and Measures introduced SI system. It
has 7 fundamental units ( Unit of length is metre, mass is kilogram, Time is second, Temperature is
Kelvin, Electric current is Ampere, Luminous intensity is Candela, Amount of substance is mol) and
two supplementary units ( Unit of plane angle is radian, solid angle is steradian)
A1: Which of the following is not the name of physical quantity?
(a) Kilogram (b) Density (c) Impulse (d) Energy
A2: The weight of a body is 12g. This statement is not correct because
(a) The correct symbol for the unit of weight has not been used. (b) The correct symbol for gram is
gm. (c) The weight should be expressed in kg. (d) Of some reason other than those given above.
A3: If the unit of force and length are doubled, the unit of energy will be
(a) 1/2 times (b) 2 times (c) 4 times (d) 1/4 times
A4: The density of a liquid is 13.6 g cm-3. Its value ip S.I. is
(a) 13.6 kgm-3 (b) 136 kgm-3 (c) 13600 kgm-3 (d) 1360 kgm-3
